Polarized target observables for anti-p + 13C vector reactions

The general form of the scattering amplitude for the elastic scattering of protons from 13C is examined and the observables which arise in the case of a polarized target are identified. Specific scattering amplitudes are calculated using the relativistic impulse approximation and observables which are sensitive to relativistic nuclear dynamics in the target wavefunctions are sought. In general, for elastic scattering, little sensitivity is found. What little is present is attributed to relativistic enhancements of the convection current. The (p,n) reaction to the analogue state in 13N is also considered. Here great sensitivity to the use of the pseudovector or pseudoscalar form for the pseudoscalar NN invariant is found, the former being strongly preferred. Again, there is little evidence of sensitivity to relativistic dynamics in the nuclear bound states
